FolderBrowserDialog

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm running VS.net 2002 with .net framework 1.0

I want to use 'System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog' which is available in .net framework 1.1. From reading posts, I understand that I can't use 1.1 with VS.net 2002. Upgrading my VS.net at this point is not an option. So, how can I trick the OpenFileDialog to act as a FolderBrowserDialog? Or, is there some other way to accomplish this.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark!

I guess you could call the ShBrowseForFolder() API..

here's a sample

here's the function help file :

Right.
